As a volunteer who worked on the lead-shot  issue in Iowa for many hours 
over many months back in the 1980s, and went  to a number of related hearings 
and meetings, I must respectfully  disagree with the following statement:  " 
Hunters quickly embraced  this solution because it was good for waterfowl." 
 Some hunters embraced  it, but some hunters fought very hard against it.  
I'd bet  that some others who worked on the issue remember that also.
